I see a lot of cyclists running stop signs.
That sets a bad example.
I agree, and I'm probably over-diligent about obeying traffic lights. At
one intersection about two blocks from my house, I turn right where
there's a "No Turn on Red" sign. But even though I know the sign was put
there to protect kids walking home from school at 3 - 4 PM, I sit
dutifully even at 8 PM, even though nobody would ever object to me
proceeding. Not even my friend the police chief.
OTOH, I happen to live directly across from a stop sign at a T
intersection. I've sat in the house and counted multiple times.
Consistently, 50% of the motorists fail to do a legal stop.
Personally, I think it's much more reasonable to ticket those motorists
first.

I'm two houses down from a stop sign and half of the cars don't even slow down. And even though the signs going into the residential area clearly says no trucks we have trucks morning, noon and evening.
